 I'm very happy that the Sugar folks are in town -- under whatever
 alibi -- and I'm keen on meeting, having a beer together and perhaps
 talking a few technical things too ;-) After all, we've been
 collaborating for almost a year now, and I don't know your faces.

 There are a few things I'm interested in talking about so I'll try to
 use my slot (and the many beer rounds) for that. The xocamp later will
 be another chance to talk about them more formally, but perhaps we can
 have a quick overview of

  - Repeated automagic registration - so updated registration data
 (with perhaps more bits of data) reaches the XS.

  - Manually triggered actions from the control panel -
 re-registration, ds-backup

  - Browse.xo automagic authentication against XS. Also - automagic
 proxy config with PAC files, etc.

  - Service announcement (plain old DNS, mdns, avahi, carrier pigeons)
 - so activity and OS updates work better

  - How I learned to stop worrying and love ejabberd's mod_roster
 facilities (group handling between XS and XO)

 As you can see, it's fairly concrete stuff. There are a couple of
 blue-sky areas you can probably drag me into -

  - extended journal using the backup storage from the XS.

  - General Journal / Project diary magic UI voodoo.

 Now, if we can talk about at least some of these things in a
 parenthesis -- avoiding all the distractions -- let's do it.
 Otherwise, I'm happy to just have a beer with you. Let's make the most
 of what we have.

 And apologies for not sending this earlier --

 cheers,

Cool -- no prob to do an install demo, we can use hw from 1cc for that.

Looking forward for it! We can use your slot and also the free
hacking times on the schedule. But well, if you want to grab Tomeu
attention, I'm sure beers would be the most effective!

 There is a lot of interest about a talk on collaboration, Brendan
 offered to lead at least part of it. Perhaps we could make it a 2
 hours slot on the other days, similar to Walter/Christian.

 Sorry, I'd originally left that out because we didn't have someone to
 lead it; I was a bit behind on my mail and didn't see Brendan's
 proposal/offer.  Also, it seems like Yamandu will be attending; I'd
 missed his proposal in my original schedule as well.

 My current vague thinking is to group the less-technical
 learning-and-content-oriented talks (Yamandu's, OLE's presentation,
 and Chris/Michael's Uruguay report) on another day (Tuesday?
 Thursday?  I'll have to sit down with Bernie again), and to add
 Yamandu-on-i18n to the i18n hour on Wed, if he'd like to make a
 10-15min presentation.  I think I can squeeze in 30 mins for
 collaboration on Wed if Brendan wants to make a formal proposal; if we
 all just want to sit down and brainstorm collaboration, then a 2 hour
 block on not-Wednesday sounds perfect.

 I was really hoping to get Morgs or Collabora to give a 'state of
 collaboration' talk to set the stage.  Hopefully we can get that in
 January's meeting.

Seeing as there will be some discussion anyway, I'll try to write up
something to explain the current state of things and what we were
hoping to achieve next. If there's a possibility of me participating
by phone, and a slot before 3pm, I'd certainly like to join the
discussion.

My intention is more to set realistic expectations than plan future
work, as our resources are rather constrained, and people who would
need to be part of actual planning won't be there.

Morgan

No.  Wednesday talks are well-structured, compressed data, idea, open
question and prototype dumps.  Brainstorming is scheduled for Monday,
Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Keep the comments coming -- it seems that no one is completely

 If this level of non-dissent continues, Bernie and I will pencil in
Wed as 'technical talk day' on the wiki, and folks can start adding
details for their talks, trading talk slots, etc.

Not sure if (a) I understand how Bernie's schedule (Talk:Sugarcamp)
works; but (b) Friday morning at 9am is the only time that works for
Evangelina, who is able to jooin us for the Portfolio discussion. I
don't think we'll need more than 90 minutes, so perhaps Christian

Yup, I think that matches what Bernie and I had pencilled in.  We'll
